Using the Tremolo System
The JS20 DKQ is equipped with a tremolo bridge. This allows for pitch bending effects by depressing or pulling up on the tremolo arm. Use the tremolo arm gently to avoid putting excessive stress on the bridge or strings, which can affect tuning stability.

After each use, wipe down the strings and body with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth to remove sweat and oils. For the body, a guitar-specific polish can be used periodically. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. Clean the fretboard with a dedicated fretboard conditioner to prevent drying and cracking, especially if it's an unfinished wood like amaranth.
Rirọpo okun
Strings should be replaced regularly, depending on how often you play and how quickly they corrode. Worn strings can negatively impact tone and playability. Replace strings one at a time to maintain neck tension. Refer to online tutorials or a qualified technician if you are unsure about string replacement or setting up your tremolo system.
Ibi ipamọ
Store your guitar in a stable environment, away from extreme temperature changes or humidity fluctuations. A guitar case or gig bag provides protection from dust and minor impacts. Avoid leaning the guitar against walls or furniture where it could fall.
